Types of Stock Movements
In Mobility Work, the stock of a spare part can change in three main ways:
1. Inventory
- Allows you to manually update the actual quantity in stock.
- Can record a quantity higher or lower than the current stock.
- Useful for correcting discrepancies or verifying stock accuracy.
- Also allows adjusting the unit price or currency of the part.
Example: you count 120 parts while the system shows 100; inventory allows you to correct the quantity.

2. Replenishment
- Adding parts to stock to reach or maintain the desired level.
- Typically done when stock reaches a critical threshold.
- Information entered includes quantity, date, and optionally the price.
Example: delivery of 50 additional parts to reach the defined minimum stock level.

3. Consumption
When a part is used in a task (activity), the stock is automatically decreased.
If the activity is deleted or the stock movement is removed, the stock is automatically adjusted back (incremented).
Important: Deleting or canceling a task does not automatically reverse the parts consumed. If the task is canceled or deleted, the stock is not automatically adjusted.
-
This automation ensures that the stock always reflects actual consumption.
Example:
3 parts used for an activity → stock decreases by 3
Activity deleted → stock increases by 3
Task deleted → stock remains unchanged
History of movements

- Available information includes:
- Movement type (Inventory / Replenishment / Consumption)
